Hike through fragrant & shaded forest trail of Tara Devi
The experience
What to expect
The trail there is 4 km (one side) through dense forest of pine and oak, fragrant and shaded, with birds and wildflowers along the path. As you climb toward the top where 250 years old Shrine of Tara sit on hilltop, surrounded by open Himalayan views in every direction. Your guide carries the history and the stories, you just have to walk and listen. For the descent, you can walk back the same trail or take the local bus that departs from the hilltop if one feels tired. Best to try with your family and plan a small picnic in the flatter meadows in jungle.
